Heroes and villains slam the digital tabletop next month
Nuverse and Second Dinner are bringing the heroes and villains of Marvel to the card arena next month. Digital card battlerMarvel Snaphits PC and mobile on October 18.
Announced today during theDisney and Marvel Games Showcaseat D23 Expo, the free-to-play card game will feature over 150 cards at launch and more than 80 different locales for digital dueling.
Marvel Snapis being developed bySecond Dinner, a studio founded by several formerHearthstonedevelopers. In itsreveal back in May, the team assured that whileMarvel Snapis free-to-play, every card will be available through gameplay.
Probably shouldn’t let Thanos playSnap
One of the key mechanics inMarvel Snapis the titular “snap” move, allowing players to effectively double-down. It’s a bluffing mechanic that reminds me a lot ofGwent, and could add an interesting dynamic to play.
Second Dinner is also advertising fast play sessions, at just three minutes a pop. Seems like the idea is to pick up and play quickly.
Considering the wayHearthstonedominated the digital card landscape so fast, I’m interested to see what this team puts together. With the whole Marvel universe behind it for fodder, the team certainly won’t lack for interesting characters to toss in. Fingers crossed for some Squirrel Girl.
If you want to keep up with the game and be ready to grab when it’s live, you can pre-register over on theMarvel Snapsite here.
Marvel Snapdebuts for mobile and PC on October 18.
